Tuttle's Record.

General J. B. Tuttle, the hot-headed
commander of the Grand Army of the
Republic, for the state of Iowa, is pre-
sented to the country by official reports on
flle at Washington as one Of the perspiring
patriots who made gain Of his military
position, abused his rank and demoralized
his command by efforts after personal
profits during his army service. Many of
the partisan politicians who have been
backing him in the misuse of his Grand
Army rank to defame the president were
equally vigorous few years ago in assail.
ing him when he was wearing the Demo-
cratic cOlOrs. lie often brought reproach
upon the party Of his former associations
by his virulence of manner and intemper.
ance Of speech, and after the fashion OF
such characters he became even more
radical in the opposition than he had been
TN the support of the Democracy one rene.
gade Is worse than ten Turks.
Tuttle belongs to that wing of the Grand
Army of the Republic which concerns
itself far more about pensions, back pay
and otlicehOlding than about any patriotic
principle or the historic memory of valor-
0us deeds. This element has become too
conspicuous OF late years in the organiza.
tion; and now when Tuttle, in high official
place, has threatened that if the president
OF the United States should visit one of its
chief cities on the occasion of a pageant of
this order, that he would be publicly in.
suited, it is very proper that Tuttle's war
record be laid bare. Major.General Dana,
away back in 1864, is the authority for this
report:

assistant sdjutsnt general, that Captain Lor

The Door directors have held a special

Tho Poof Directors and DE MacCrcafy.
The poor directors have held special
meeting TO consider the charges brought BY
this paper against the management Of the
hospital, and have seen fit to let matters
rest In their present condition and treat the
well supported stories Of neglect and in
competency as exaggerations.
This il . course that they cannot afford

and must be fairly and fully answered.
Now that the matter has been brought
to public notice the abuses complained
OF may be remedied, but the fact that a
remedy was necessary is unquestioned, and
Of itself condemns the present manage
ment which the directors have tacitly sus-
tained.
That the directors should offer for publ.
cation 90 weak a plea in defense as the
letter Of DIR. MacCreary, certainly shows
that they have but little appreciation of
the gravity Of the case. The substance OF
this curious production is denial without
supporting evidence and gross and malig
nant abuse of his assailants, yet it is eagerly
offered by the directors for publication

We must then take the French view Of

American press was exhausting itself in
ridicule Of Boulanger duel which came

scription Of French affair Of honor, that
Mr.. Clemens must have been extremely
tlattered by the confirmation Of his repre-.

The French press, however, showed no
appreciation of the ridiculous side OF the
matter. The generals very enemies saw
nothing to laugh at.
That duel had its results it helped to
tide Boulanger on to popularity that has
made him either menace to his country's
liberties las say his enemies) or the hero
who is to avenge the national honor.
